Activism and Agency
Write a 1.5 pages up to 2 pages single-space final essay that brings 3 (you can do more if you wish) weekly themes together around the bigger theme of activism and agency. Make an original argument that ties them all together. To argue for something, you need to first argue against something. Activism is something we all admire (or denigrate) in society, but how is it tied to agency, the ability to shape one’s own life? Do people who have no/little agency have recourse to activism? Does activism deliver or provide much agency? Use themes and materials from the second part of quarter to discuss the activism/agency dyad. In terms of style, your essays are not simple compare papers (they said X and they said y). They are argumentative persuasive essays. You must make an original argument by juxtaposing weekly themes together. You don’t have to compare themes equally; you can prioritize one and use it to discuss the other theme, but the art and skill of writing requires deep analysis and argumentation logic that weaves things together. college-level writing takes practice.
